I got no dog in this fight, to use a Mike Vick term, but from a purely "motivational" standpoint, I give the edge to the Saint, as they've never been there before and they've got something to prove.

Payton and his crew, while 5 1/2 point overdogs, have a ring, have an ego, and I think they will get caught sleeping. If they wake up in time, they could keep it close.

In the end, it will come down to turnovers and penalties, as it usually does. If the Aints do to Payton what they did to Favre, well, he'll be dead by halftime!
